| + | <li><b>14 December, 2006 -- BusyBox 1.3.0 (stable)</b> |
| + | <p><a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.3.0.tar.bz2>BusyBox 1.3.0</a>.</p> |
| + | |
| + | <p>This release has CONFIG_DESKTOP option which enables features |
| + | needed for busybox usage on desktop machine. For example, find, chmod |
| + | and chown get several less frequently used options, od is significantly |
| + | bigger but matches GNU coreutils, etc. Intended to eventually make |
| + | busybox a viable alternative for "standard" utilities for slightly |
| + | adventurous desktop users. |
| + | <p>Changes since previous release: |
| + | <ul> |
| + | <li>find: taking many more of standard options |
| + | <li>ps: POSIX-compliant -o implemented |
| + | <li>cp: added -s, -l |
| + | <li>grep: added -r, fixed -h |
| + | <li>watch: make it exec child like standard one does (was totally |
| + | incompatible) |
| + | <li>tar: fix limitations which were preventing bbox tar usage |
| + | on a big directories: long names and linknames, pax headers |
| + | (Linux kernel tarballs have that). Fixed a number of obscure bugs. |
| + | Raised max file limit (now 64Gb). Security fixes (/../ attacks). |
| + | <li>httpd: added -i (inetd), -f (foreground), support for |
| + | directory indexer CGI (example is included), bugfixes. |
| + | <li>telnetd: fixed/improved IPv6 support, inetd+standalone support, |
| + | other fixes. Useful IPv6 stuff factored out into libbb. |
| + | <li>runit/*: new applets adapted from http://smarden.sunsite.dk/runit/ |
| + | (these are my personal favorite small-and-beautiful toys) |
| + | <li>minor bugfixes to: login, dd, mount, umount, chmod, chown, ln, udhcp, |
| + | fdisk, ifconfig, sort, tee, mkswap, wget, insmod. |
| + | </ul> |
| + | <p>Note that GnuPG key used to sign this release is different. |
| + | 1.2.2.1 is also signed post-factum now. Sorry for the mess. |
